(Translated by Google) Unfriendly staff, the fault is not exactly !!! I was sitting at the table with my girlfriend downstairs at the table when suddenly a glass fell down from above. We were really lucky that we were not hit by the glass !!! Our table (as well as our drinks!) Were full of glass splinters ... when asked if I could get a new half full !!! drink, I was just laughed at! Even when paying there was no discount ... the rationale "He can not help it, it's not his fault" ... that's true, but that has to do with goodwill and customer friendliness definitely nothing! Simply incredible (Original) Unfreundliches Personal, das für Fehler nicht gerade steht !!! Ich saß beim Essen mit meiner Freundin unten am Tresen am Tisch als plötzlich von oben ein Glas runter gefallen ist. Wir hatten echt Glück, dass wir nicht vom Glas getroffen wurden!!! Unser Tisch (sowie unsere Getränke!) waren voll mit Glassplittern ...auf die Frage, ob ich ein neues- halbvolles !!!- Getränk bekommen könnte, wurde ich nur belächelt! Auch beim Bezahlen gab es kein Nachlass...die Begründung „Er kann ja nichts dafür, es ist nicht seine Schuld“ ...das ist wohl richtig, aber das hat mit Kulanz und kundenfreundlichkeit definitiv nichts zu tun!!!! Einfach unfassbar

Have been here many times, and it's always enjoyable. Not the kind of cafe to work at, but lovely to meet friends and relax. In corona times, everything is available for take away. The food, cakes and smoothies are of high quality, very tasty. Coffee is good. There are vegan alternatives. In general, a 5 star.

One of the best cafés in Köln! I loved everything of this place; the vibe, nice and kind Kellner, cozy interior and a lovely breakfast :) I’ll definitely come back!

Service was super nice , location and atmosphere amazing. Drinks are good. But why you using the cheapest cheese from discounter on your cheese platter and one and a half falafel ... eighter one or two ? Or i am wrong? Quiche was yummy

(Translated by Google) Waited 25 minutes for a bagel. And there was hardly anything going on. When my bagel finally arrived (after 2 other customers who had already had their meal after us), mine was dry and slightly burnt. Was there for the first and last time (19.9.20) (Original) Habe 25 Minuten für einen Bagel gewartet. Und dabei war kaum was los. Als dann endlich mein Bagel ankam (nachdem 2 andere Kunden die nach uns ihr Essen schon längst hatten), war meins trocken und leicht verbrannt. War da das erste und letzte Mal dort (19.9.20)

(Translated by Google) The breakfast was really delicious, the service super friendly and it is very comfortably furnished. I would love to come back and recommend this café to everyone. (Original) Das Frühstück war wirklich total lecker, die Bedienung super freundlich und es ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Ich komme gerne wieder und kann dieses Café jedem ans Herz legen.

The place is super cozy and the staff is friendly. However, if you want really good coffee, better look for other places in Köln. This has nice homemade cakes - better focus on these while you’re here.

Ordered my regular flat white with oatmilk. Off the bat the coffee-milk proportion was flawless, one of the best in that aspect in my experience. The coffee blend was flavorful, slightly bitter, moderately whole-bodied with great aftertaste. This very nearly clinches a five-star rating but one had slightly better flavorful profiles in terms of the coffee blend. Might give this a five if the quality is consistent over the next couple of times.

They are back! New owner, renovated store and some new food options. All the food is really tasty and the price is okay. I really did not like the coffee that much. I think there is room to improve. And the waffles are gone :( Nevertheless this is our fav spot in cologne südstadt for easy breakfast. You can pay with VISA and google pay - which is awesome!

A lovely little cafe in the heart of Südstadt. Delicious coffee, tea and juices and even a breakfast menu. Really like the cosy feel of the place and friendly service.

Beautiful vintage interior, nice coffee, affordable prices, and delicious cakes. The upstairs space is just a cherry on top✨

The Cafe is super cute and the servers took care of us so well. They brought us water on a really hot day and didn't even charge us. The drinks and food were amazing and I am definitely coming back!!!

Cute alternative small café which I normally tend to like. Now after corona service was extremely unmotivated. They simply didn't serve us for 30 minutes and want you to register which currently isn't necessary. Please stay updated and only employ kind stuff. Don't even know if I'd like to come back

(Translated by Google) Not only the coffee is delicious, but also the baked goods. Simply recommended. (Original) Nicht nur der Kaffee ist lecker, sondern auch noch die Backwaren. Einfach nur zu empfehlen.

(Translated by Google) + Food, cake and coffee are delicious + the atmosphere is pleasantly familiar + The shop is comfortably furnished - long waiting times and noticeably no gastro experience with the staff - they go out of their way to do this and are passionate about it Proposal to the operator: - Load pastrami sandwich more generously! Pastrami expects a generous amount of meat, but then gladly ask for more €. - Chop the dried tomatoes so that they spread better on the bread and are not gone with a bite. (Original) + Essen, Kuchen und Kaffee sind sehr lecker + die Atmosphäre ist angenehm familiär + Der Laden ist gemütlich eingerichtet - lange Wartezeiten und merklich keine Gastro-Erfahrung beim Personal - dafür geben sie sich Mühe und sind mit Herz dabei Vorschlag an die Betreiber: - Pastrami Sandwich großzügiger belegen! Bei Pastrami erwartet man großzügig Fleisch, dafür dann auch gerne mehr €€ verlangen. - Getrocknete Tomaten klein hacken, damit sie sich besser auf dem Brot verteilen und nicht mit einem Bissen weg sind.

(Translated by Google) Small and fine! Great coffee, scones and croissants. Merci Cherie for the nice hours ;-) (Original) Klein und fein! Super Kaffee, Scones und Croissants. Merci Cherie für die schönen Stunden ;-)

(Translated by Google) The store is something special, just by the old mixed chairs and sofas. The furniture looks as if they were from special waste from Marienburg and are super comfortable ... is served in different, beautiful grandparents, no cup is the other .. This has a great own charm! There is delicious food and good coffee !!!! I can really recommend the LIGHT !! But you should go alone or at most in three - the store is really small! (Original) Der Laden ist was besonderes,allein durch die alten zusammengewürfelten Sessel und Sofas . Die Möbel sehen so aus als wären sie vom Sondermüll aus Marienburg und sind super gemütlich...serviert wird in verschiedenen,schönen Omaservice ,keine Tasse gleicht der anderen ..Das alles hat einen tollen eigenen Charme! Es gibt sehr leckeres Essen und guten Kaffee !!!! Ich kann die LEUCHTE wirklich empfehlen !! Aber man sollte alleine oder höchstens zu dritt hingehen - der Laden ist echt klein !!!

(Translated by Google) Super Café in the Südstadt. You have a great selection of bagels, smoothies and the coffee tastes good too! Top! (Original) Super Café in der Südstadt. Man hat eine tolle Auswahl an Bagels, Smoothies und der Kaffee schmeckt auch! Top!

(Translated by Google) Wonderfully rustic coffee very close to the Chlodwigplatz. With a large selection of optional grilled steaks, bagels and soups, the choice is difficult, just like the super delicious cake. With a really good coffee and oatmeal, you can make yourself comfortable on a regenerative day. (Original) Wunderbar uriges Kaffee ganz in der Nähe vom Chlodwigplatz. Bei einer große Auswahl an wahlweise gegrillten Stullen, Bagels und Suppen wird die Auswahl schwierig, genau wie bei den super leckeren Kuchen. Mit einem richtig guter Kaffee auch mit Hafermilch, kann man es sich hier auch an regenerischen Tagen gemütlich machen.

(Translated by Google) Very nice and comfortable, ok, we have doubled the average age😀😎😂 (Original) Sehr schön und gemütlich, ok, wir haben den Altersdurchschnitt verdoppelt😀😎😂

Great staff and perfect bagels!

Ordered a flat white, however it tasted & looked like a moka pot coffee with milk. Disappointing. When you see flat white on the menu, you trust the cafe knows how to make a flat white. Or just exclude it from the menu. Update: went in for a second flat white..... on the plus side, the staff are very helpful and pleasant. I'll withhold any criticism of the coffee given the direction of the owner.

Very great small dishes like sandwiches in a cozy atmosphere.

Meh 2/5

We wanted to taste their waffles since the Google indicated the place as one of the best waffles in Cologne. But they had none waffles and that was ok. We said"let's try the coffee". I could understand the neo-hipster poverty look of the place but they really have a problem with wasps. A lot o wasps. Everywhere. And the coffee....bitter as the blackest night of a Stephen King's book... Update: Response to your reply: It was not the waffles but the wasps and the not good coffee that made me give you the one star. Now it is also your attitude. And since you are asking for improvement advice, maybe you should consider having an air condition (in a town that reached 40 Celsius this summer). That way you could contain the wasp problem outside. As for the coffee...I think that it was the maintenance of the coffee machine and not the coffee beans, that gave to your coffee the bitterness of an old taste.

Cute place fine food good coffee.

Good schamong coffee

Close to Chlodwigplatz in the Südstadt but sitting in the cosy mezzanine feels quiet and private. Great place to meet a friend.

(Translated by Google) I waited 35min for a bagel and a sandwich. And then both were still cold. Occupancy of the café was low. (Original) Ich habe 35min für einen Bagel und ein sandwich gewartet. Und dann war beides noch kalt. Auslastung des Cafés war gering.

We Googled "best places for waffles Cologne" and this shop popped up. Due to a change of the ownership, they don't make waffles no more. The shop itself looks a little bit abandoned and not cozy as described and... they have a serious problems with wasps, which made our stay extremely short and limited, since we stuck with a coffee. Update: I can accept the points made from the owners of this coffee shop, so I am changing my critique to two stars for the cause of fairness. For the banana bread, we end up deciding against it and didn't had any, just because the swarms of wasps, would make it simply impossible to eat. Maybe you mixed me with another client. In any case, it is way out of my way (and tastes), to give it another go.

A nice coffee shop in the heart of southern city centre. Worth a stop if you’re nearby

Super lovely place! Very friendly smiling staff. Delicious coffee and also they have vegan sweets.

Cozy place. Great coffee . Yummy salads

(Translated by Google) I recommend the NY Club Sandwich & the Pastrami Bagel! (Original) Ich empfehle das NY Club Sandwich & den Pastrami Bagel!

(Translated by Google) The cake was delicious. Not cheap for the size of the pieces. (Original) Der Kuchen war lecker. Für die Größe der Stücke allerdings auch nicht ganz billig.

(Translated by Google) Very good coffee, also possible in many variations. The food is varied and extremely tasty! Price performance is fair. During the last few months there were often long waiting times and sometimes rudeness, which I also said here on google. This has not been the case for several visits. Service is great again, fast and super friendly. A nice atmosphere and the coffee lamp remains my favorite coffee. (Original) Sehr guter Kaffee, auch in vielen Variationen möglich. Das Essen ist vielseitig und ausgesprochen lecker!! Preisleistung ist fair. Während der letzten Monate kam es öfters zu langen Wartezeiten und teils Unhöflichkeiten was ich auch hier auf google geäußert hatte. Dies ist nun seit mehreren Besuchen garnicht mehr der Fall. Service ist wieder toll, schnell und super freundlich. Eine nette Atmosphäre und das Kaffee Leuchte bleibt mein Lieblingskaffee.

(Translated by Google) Were there for breakfast during the week around 11am. I don't really want to say much, I fell in love, the food, the atmosphere and the service was perfect. I had a vegan breakfast which was very tasty, maybe I would have liked a little more of the avocado and a second hearty spread with the hummus, BUT there were plenty of rolls and bread and overall everything was enough and was really delicious. For breakfast there was a piece of banana bread, which was a long time coming, but just because it was freshly baked without us having given it, we got a second piece as compensation for the wait and ohoooo, the wait was worth it, that Banana bread was awesome. Scrambled eggs and bagels were also delicious, fresh, and just plain perfect. I love it, would come back anytime. Ps: my friend loves it too, 4 thumbs up! (Original) Waren zum Frühstück unter der Woche gegen 11 Uhr da. Viel möchte ich eigentlich nicht sagen, ich habe mich verliebt, das Essen die Atmosphäre und Service war perfekt. Ich hatte ein veganes Frühstück was sehr lecker war, hätte mir vielleicht etwas mehr von der Avocado und noch einen zweiten herzhaften Aufstrich zum Hummus gewünscht, ABER es waren reichlich Brötchen und Brot da und insgesamt hat alles gereicht und war echt köstlich. Zu dem Frühstück gab es ein Stück Bananenbrot, was auf sich warten ließ, aber auch nur weil es frisch gebacken wurde, ohne dass wir drum geben hatten haben wir ein zweites Stück als Entschädigung fürs warten bekommen und Ohoooo, das warten hat sich gelohnt, das Bananenbrot war genial. Rührei und Bagel waren auch lecker, frisch und einfach nur perfekt. Ich liebs, würde jederzeit wiederkommen. Ps: mein Freund liebts auch, 4 Daumen hoch!

(Translated by Google) Super store! I can only recommend it. Nice staff, delicious food and the coffee is delicious too. You'd love to come back here! (Original) Super Laden! Nur zu empfehlen. Nette Mitarbeiter, super leckeres Essen und der Kaffee ist auch köstlich. Hier kommt man gerne wieder!

(Translated by Google) Great service, fresh bagels, delicious muesli. We would love to come back!

(Original) Super Service, frische Bagels, leckeres Müsli. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

(Translated by Google) The cafe itself is totally cozy and there is hardly anything to complain about, but the staff is unfortunately totally unfriendly and unusable. My girlfriend was served totally unfriendly today (16.06.2020) and had to wait forever until she got anything. You need a key for the toilet. You can't know that when you're here for the first time. Nevertheless, this was assumed and when asked, there was a snappy answer. I can tell from previous reviews that this is not an isolated case either. If you demand respect from the customer yourself, you should learn to properly greet and say goodbye to your guests. Don't you want to make money? Corona crisis survived? Please don't! (Original) Das Cafe an sich ist total gemütlich und eigentlich gäbe es kaum was auszusetzen, aber das Personal ist leider total unfreundlich und unbrauchbar. Meine Freundin wurde heute (16.06.2020) total unfreundlich bedient und musste ewig warten bis sie überhaupt was bekommen hat. Für die Toilette braucht man einen Schlüssel. Das kann man nicht wissen, wenn man zum ersten mal da ist. Trotzdem wurde das vorausgesetzt und auf Nachfrage, gab es eine patzige Antwort. Den frúheren Rezensionen entnehme ich, dass das auch kein Einzelfall ist. Wenn ihr selbst Respekt vom Kunden einfordert solltet ihr mal lernen eure Gäste anständig zu begrüßen und zu verabschieden. Wollt ihr kein Geld verdienen? Corona Krise schon überstanden? So bitte nicht!

(Translated by Google) Very nice little cafe! The furniture gives the whole its personal / individual character. Breakfast was delicious. The dishes that went to the other tables also looked great. The staff is friendly and also exchanged a few extra words with you (even though the cafe was full). The corona measures are well implemented. Really highly recommended! (Original) Sehr schönes, kleines Café! Die Möbel geben dem Ganzen seinen persönlichen/individuellen Charakter. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker. Auch die Speisen, die zu den anderen Tischen gegangen sind sahen toll aus. Das Personal ist freundlich und hatte auch ein paar zusätzliche Worte mit einem getauscht (obwohl das Café voll war). Die Corona Maßnahmen sind gut umgesetzt. Wirklich absolut zu empfehlen!!

Friendly staff, good coffee, and in a nice spot!

Cute cafe with a nice vibe and friendly staff. Unfortunately, our coffee and matcha were both super bitter, seems like they were burned. We were quite disappointed, especially also given the quite high prices.
